Description

Description

Testing Java and compiling with maven, I noticed in VSCode, they report the result of the JAVA compilation when opening the window. This is missing in Theia and I think it looks nice. The end-user knows the computer is compiling the JAVA project. See the terminal view in the attached picture.

Reproduction Steps

  1. install the necessary java dependencies and plugins
    • remove @theia/java and @theia/java-debug
    • include @theia/vscode-builtin-java
    • include plugins from the java extension pack - note: in order to use the extension pack the following is required (#6682)
  2. open a java project with maven (ex: my-app-tar.gz)
  3. test the automatic build of the project using VS Code
  4. test the automatic build of the project using Theia

Additional Info OS and Theia version: OS: Ubuntu 16.04 Theia: eb74d4a

Research direction
Investigate how VSCode displays Java build output in the terminal view. Look at Theia's Java extension source code (e.g., packages/java) and terminal package (packages/terminal) to see if build output is captured. Explore the VSCode Java extension pack for reference implementation. Consider adapting the approach to Theia's framework.
